Quote:Again, you're making this an atheist vs. all organized religion war. You cannot do that, because none of those religions are similar in so much as they're one. You're suggesting that they're all credible, honest, true religions, which is impossible, because they all have different beliefs. That just goes to show you how false religion is...like I said, a bunch of bratty children wanting things their own way. A truely honest person who will never lie is about as rare as anything; does that mean it's not better to be truly honest? Ideals aren't always common, and neither is the truth, but that doesn't change what it is.
I'm not sure just why I'm so gung-ho against religion...perhaps because from my perspective, it'd be better for humanity to abandon such an ancient and shallow concept. On the other hand, religion is a fragile fabric which keeps billions of simple-minded idiots happy...they believe that if they sin, they'll be punished by a diety. Maybe that alone merits religion should continue. And I don't think I'm better than anything, I have a VERY low self esteem since my girlfriend dumped me and I was fired from my job 3 months ago, WHICH IS WHY ALL I DO IS COME HERE TO POST! [/B]
Maybe if you had some moral conviction and a little more optimism you would be a much happier person then just putting down people for their faith.( you might actually have a reason for you to even live)
As for being "brats having it their own way" , That statement has no merit or truth behind it ,
Can you say church soup kitchen volunteers who go out of there own way to feed the needy and unfortunate are " brats having it their own way"?!!! (pretty clear sadism right there)
but oddly enough I have a simple question to ask you darunia ,
Were does Morality and ethics come from?
As sopposedly the philosophy of evolution is survival of the fittest and I dont see how a sense of right wrong comes into assuring survival?
